Overview
An offshored helpdesk support resource will be able to do the majority of tasks conducted by internal resources in relation to providing all levels of support to your customers. The higher the level of support required though, the more focus on delivering training, documentation and repeatable processes to the team.
Specific responsibilities would be identified as part of the recruitment of your new staff member as well as any certification requirements.
Why Offshore This Function?
- Your organisation has and is growing and the day-to-day support requirements have become a burden to local staff (especially at Level 1 and 2 support functions)
- You are using high-value technical resources for day-to-day customer support
- Internal promotion or turnover has created resource capacity issues
